TrolMaster 240V Temperature Device Station DST-2 for Hydro-X, 10 A with RJ12 Cables

TrolMaster 240V Temperature Device Station Rated at 10 A

Rated 10 A at 240 VAC, 50/60Hz, the DST-2 switches heating or cooling equipment on command from a Hydro-X controller. Any heater or cooling device at ten amps or less on a 240-volt supply falls inside its rating. It behaves like a controlled outlet: the device plugs into the station, and the station decides when power flows. The control signal arrives over RJ12 cable from the controller. A small LED shows when the station has power. Each station takes an address, so the controller can treat a heater and a cooling unit as separate devices. The kit includes a 16 ft and a 4 ft RJ12 cable plus an RJ12 T-splitter for chaining stations together. It works from 32 to 122°F at up to 90% humidity. Its package is 85 x 80 x 90 mm and weighs about 0.75 lb. It is ETL and FCC registered and backed by a three-year warranty.

Running Heat and Cooling Through a Hydro-X Temperature Device Station

Heating and cooling each run on their own station, set to its role in the controller. Space heaters, baseboard heat and exhaust fans wired for 240 volts are the usual loads. The controller compares its temperature reading with the setpoint and switches the station when the room drifts. Separate lights-on and lights-off targets matter here, because a room runs warmer under the lamps. Mount the station near the load and run the signal cable back to the controller, which keeps the heavy cord short. Resistance heaters draw their full rating the moment they switch on, so check the nameplate against the station before connecting one. Leave clearance around heaters, and keep the station itself out of their airflow. The honest limit is that this is on and off control. It cannot vary a fan speed or a heater output, only switch it, so pick loads that handle simple cycling well. Mini splits and central systems with their own thermostat wiring belong on a thermostat station. It also works only at 240 volts, so 120-volt equipment needs a station built for that supply.

Key Features

• 240V Heating and Cooling Control: It switches heaters, exhaust fans or cooling devices from the Hydro-X controller.
• 10 A Output Rating: Any 240-volt load at ten amps or less fits the relay.
• Plug and Play: The device plugs into the station, and the station plugs into the wall.
• Addressable RJ12 Connection: Each station takes an address, so heat and cooling run as separate devices.
• Cable Set and T-Splitter: A 16 ft cable, a 4 ft cable and a T-splitter let it join a station chain.
